START WITH YOUR UDON
There are three stages to cooking the udon (1): boiling, cooling and warming.
- To boil: fill a large saucepan almost to the brim with 3–4 litres of unsalted water. Once boiling, gently shake and pull the udon noodles to separate them and lower them into the water for 15 minutes. Add a dash of cold water if it looks likely to bubble over.
- To cool: when the 15-minute timer is up, drain the udon. Fill the same pot back up with cold water and return the noodles to cool them.
- To warm: warm the udon depending on your chosen express box below.
BUTA MISO
- Pour the dashi (2) into a saucepan over high heat and reheat for 5–6 minutes, until piping hot.
- Heat the buta miso (3) in a small saucepan on medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Divide the cooled udon between serving bowls, then pour over the dashi. Place the buta miso on top and garnish with the spring onions (4).
KITSUNE
- Pour the dashi (2) into a saucepan over a high heat and gently add the kitsune (14) and its broth from the bag. Reheat for 5–6 minutes, until everything is piping hot.
- Divide the cooled udon between serving bowls, then pour over the dashi. Gently place the kitsune on top and garnish with the spring onions (4).
KAISO
- Pour the veggie dashi (8) into a saucepan over high heat and reheat for 5–6 minutes, until piping hot.
- Divide the cooled udon between serving bowls, then pour over the dashi. Arrange the wakame (9), nori (10), kombu (11) and Toronto (12) on top.
- Garnish with the sesame seeds (13) and spring onions (7).
ABOUT KOYA
Koya is the project of Japanese udon specialist Shuko Oda, who has two London spots, in Soho and the Bloomberg Arcade. Shuko serves an extensive variety of udon bowls with every imaginable combination of hot and cold noodles. Koya is not, however, classic Japanese. Shuko explains that each dish on the menu reflects the multiple nationalities of the chefs working in the restaurant, combining Japanese with European flavors and locally sourced ingredients.
